Your analytics are lying to you
TL;DR
Migrating from a React single-page application to a server-rendered HTML site reveals significant flaws in web analytics, which can mislead product decisions.
✦ Why It Matters
Evaluate your analytics setup to ensure accurate visitor tracking and informed decision-making.
Key Takeaways
- Don't rely solely on analytics for product decisions.
- Test your application on multiple browsers and devices.
- Consider server logs for a more accurate traffic picture.
- Engage directly with users to understand their experiences.
How It Works
Web analytics tools track user interactions through scripts that run on web pages. However, various factors can prevent these scripts from executing, leading to incomplete data collection.
⚠ The Catch
Analytics tools often miss users who have disabled JavaScript or are using services that strip JavaScript, resulting in significant undercounting.
